More on my experiments with silly Punycode domain names.

Yup, copy and paste that into your browser and it will resolve. For now, it just redirects to a Wikipedia article. If you can think of a better use for it, please let me know. I wonder how mail clients do at sending emails to it?
Interestingly, Chrome sometimes throws up a warning that this is a "Fake Site" saying "Attackers sometimes mimic sites by making small, hard-to-see changes to the URL." I suspect that's because of the mixture of English characters and symbols.
I was inspired by the (slightly weird) http://↓.tk website.
@EdentMy browser gives me a "fake site" warning; looks like Robocop is at work.https://the.webm.ink/dealing-with-googles-malware-robocop Dealing With Google's Malware Robocop
@Edent the default (?) Mastodon android client makes that clickable, through to the fake site warning...

@Edent Thanks for the link to the wikipedia, found out my kids Fisher price game pad does special “Mario eats a mushroom” sound when that code is keyed 🙂
